On Nov.18th, we had an early Thanksgiving dinner with Steph’s family. I volunteered to say the blessing or our dinner. Steph was armed with the camera, knowing that I was going to be dropping a bomb in the middle of the prayer.
So, I gave thanks for the meal, family, and new addition to the family. The family looked up in excitement, and Steph caught it on camera.
After dinner, we celebrated by going to the gun club and shooting guns. I guess that’s what you do in Carthage, TX. Some pregnant moms crave pickles and icecream, others (like Steph) just crave the feeling of shooting a gun.
My dad’s birthday is November 16th. We usually celebrate it around Thanksgiving day. On Nov. 26th, we gave him his present, a photo album with “Grandparents” written on it. Our card read, “Your other part of the present will be here in 9 months.” My dad thought it was a joke and my mom just about fell over in disbelief and excitement. You can see my brothers on the side of the picture peeking in to read the card.
